Sir Creep 7,070 Posted November 4, 2019 November 4th had ZERO deaths listed in 2018, and though the day is dawning, none yet in 2019. Furthermore, only ONE unimportant death in 2017 and two more unremarkable deaths in 2016 (See below). It really has been a date void of notable deaths in recent years. 2016 – Catherine Davani, first female Papua New Guinean judge (b. 1960)[5] 2016 – Mansour Pourheidari, Iranian football player and coach (b. 1946) 2017 – Isabel Granada, Filipino-Spanish actress and singer (b. 1976) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spade_Cooley 9,515 Posted November 4, 2019 Ah, but November 4 1995 was one of the few days in history with four legit "DeathListy" names dying: 1995 – Gilles Deleuze, French philosopher and scholar (b. 1925) 1995 – Paul Eddington, English actor (b. 1927) 1995 – Yitzhak Rabin, Israeli general and politician, 5th Prime Minister of Israel, Nobel Peace Prize laureate (b. 1922) 1995 – Morrie Schwartz, American sociologist, author, and academic (b. 1916) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcreptile 10,963 Posted November 8, 2019 I've only had three people on my longlist die this month (Gay Byrne, Rudy Boesch, Timi Hansen). It's remarkably quiet, once again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Someones stuck a semi-protected edit request on it.... so only 'establish users' can edit. A lot of updaters aren't necessarily established users so won't bother requesting talk.... One of the major editors of that page has also quit wiki. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
